Beach Outing & Sacramento Trail – The Sacramento Beach outing is great fun and educational at the same time. Learners are taken from the Sacramento Canon through to Sardinia Bay where they learn about the history of the Sacramento Wreck, Snorkel in a safe secluded pool and then play Beach Soccer, Beach Rounders and Sand Board down the Sards dunes.

All Educational Days are conducted by myself as I believe that attention to detail with all learners is paramount in their development. Learners are well supervised and learners come away from Educational Days with fun filled memories and knowledge to last a lifetime.
